[to -ports]

I disagree with your reasoning for removing the bison port.  We use this
here as a basis for creating embedded parsers for cross-development.

IMHO, just because something exists in /usr/src this should not preclude
its existence in ports too.  One might wish to pass extra configuration
options, etc to the build of a ports version.  

As the port's maintainer, I would've appreciated a poll on it too :-(
